Authorized Interruptions

JO 7110.65BB, Change 3, effective July 9, 2026 · Official text on faa.gov

As necessary, authorize a pilot to interrupt his/her communications guard.

Note

Some users have adopted procedures to ensure uninterrupted receiving capability with ATC when a pilot with only one operative communications radio must interrupt his/her communications guard because of a safety related problem requiring airborne communications with his/her company. In this event, pilots will request approval to abandon guard on the assigned ATC frequency for a mutually agreeable time period. Additionally, they will inform controllers of the NAVAID voice facility and the company frequency they will monitor.
